Autopen SCANDAL INTENSIFIES — Congress Demands Answers

Man speaking in front of an American flag

Former Biden advisor Neera Tanden shockingly admitted she was authorized to use the presidential autopen but couldn’t confirm if Biden himself approved the decisions being signed in his name.

Key Takeaways

  • President Donald Trump has waived executive privilege for nine Biden administration aides called to testify before Congress regarding autopen use.
  • Neera Tanden testified she was authorized to use the autopen but was unsure if Biden personally approved the decisions being signed.
  • The investigation examines whether Biden aides concealed information about his fitness and potentially exercised presidential powers unconstitutionally.
  • Congress is investigating the legality of Biden’s extensive autopen use, including controversial preemptive pardons for Hunter Biden, Dr. Fauci, and others.

Constitutional Crisis: Who Was Actually President?

President Trump has launched a full-scale investigation into what may be one of the most severe constitutional breaches in American history. The investigation centers on whether Joe Biden’s White House staff concealed his cognitive decline while unconstitutionally exercising presidential powers themselves. Nine senior Biden administration officials have been called to testify before the House Oversight Committee, with Trump explicitly waiving executive privilege to ensure full transparency in these proceedings.

The extraordinary nature of this investigation cannot be overstated. Deputy White House Counsel Gary Lawkowski emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating: “Evidence that aides to former President Biden concealed information regarding his fitness to exercise the powers of the President—and may have unconstitutionally exercised those powers themselves to aid in their concealment—implicates both Congress’ constitutional and legislative powers,” said Deputy White House Counsel Gary Lawkowski

Tanden’s Troubling Testimony

Former Biden advisor Neera Tanden’s recent testimony before Congress has raised alarming questions about who was actually making presidential decisions during Biden’s term. Tanden admitted she was authorized to use the autopen for Biden’s signature but could not confirm whether Biden himself approved the decisions being signed in his name. While claiming there was no cover-up of Biden’s health issues within the administration, her testimony contradicted this assertion by revealing a startling lack of presidential oversight in crucial decision-making processes.

“In light of [the] unique and extraordinary nature of the matters under investigation, President Trump has determined that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the national interest,” said Deputy White House Counsel Gary Lawkowski

The unprecedented expansion of autopen use under Biden has raised serious constitutional concerns. FRC Action Director Matt Carpenter noted, “Now, the use of the autopen has grown so much that we have no idea to what extent Biden, who was clearly cognitively deficient throughout his entire term as president, was involved in official business during his time as president,” said FRC Action Director Matt Carpenter

Controversial Pardons Under Scrutiny

Among the most concerning aspects of the investigation are the 4,245 acts of clemency issued by Biden—more than any other president in history. These included highly controversial preemptive pardons for his son Hunter Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and members of the January 6 Committee. Given Tanden’s testimony and growing evidence of Biden’s cognitive limitations, serious questions arise about whether Biden was even aware of these pardons or if staffers were effectively running the executive branch without constitutional authority.

“Good for President Trump in waiving executive privilege and allowing Biden staffers to testify in front of Congress about the use of the autopen in the White House. Biden issued more acts of clemency (4,245) than any other president in history, including preemptive pardons in the final days of his administration for his son Hunter, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and members and staff on the January 6 Committee,” said FRC Action Director Matt Carpenter

President Trump’s administration is conducting this investigation with multiple congressional committees, including the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs’ select subcommittee and the Senate Judiciary Committee. White House Counsel David Warrington and the Department of Justice are leading the executive branch investigation, demonstrating the current administration’s commitment to constitutional accountability and transparency. The American people deserve to know who was actually making presidential decisions during Biden’s term, and whether those actions were constitutionally valid.
